About Finley
Expert Analysis
Michael Campanile | Prep Lacrosse Scout
Lear was one of the few bright spots for ESD in their blowout loss to The Hill Academy at NHSLS, scoring its lone goal of the half. As a junior, he put up 31 goals and 20 assists. He’s sneaky good off the ball, timing his cuts perfectly, has silky mitts inside, and gets shots off before goalies can even set their feet. He’s crafty with both hands around the crease and has a super quick release off the catch. Lear is especially effective from the righty wing, where he can dodge low or sweep across the top to make plays. On step-downs, he generates real velocity by extending his hands and shooting fundamentally sound. He’s the type of player who can quietly rack up points and tilt a game without needing the spotlight.
